How to say “goal” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
عند الفتور، بدّل الوسيلة لا الغاية إن عجز لسانك فليذكر قلبك، وإن ثقل قلبك فلتخدم يدك، فالطرق إلى الله بعدد أنفاس الخلائق
When feeling lethargic, change the means, not the goal: if your tongue is too weak, let your heart remember; if your heart is heavy, let your hands serve, for the paths to God are as numerous as the breaths of creation.
الْغَايَةَ — the goal. 'al-' = 'the'; 'ghaya' = 'goal, aim'. Object — the '-a' ending marks it.
